A dedicated course or session web page helps you reach more learners by enhancing the visibility of your course offerings, highlighting their value, and guiding learners to start their learning journey.

Navigate to the course for which you want to create a course webpage and select the Publish tab.

After creating the academy website, the next step is to publish it so that learners can access it.
